346 APPENDIX.
If you have any plots, either sham ones or true ones,
Bring out the contrivers, both Hack ones and blue ones;
I'll either refine 'em from all their past ill,
Or else I will strangle 'em all in my mill.
Then make haste, &c.

Come, let us be joyful and sing,
Great Britain will soon be at rest.
Here's a health to all those love the king,
Confusion to all the rest.
The rebels now crouch to our sway,
If any remaining there be ;
Then let us be merry and gay,
Since none are so happy as we.
Then what cause have we to repine,
Since our nation is settled and strong?
Let every man drink off his wine,
Whilst rebels must hold their tongue.
Great Britain the world shall command,
Rest in love, peace, and unity ;
Foreign nations amazed shall stand.
To see none so happy as we.
Then let us be merry, fill wine,
Let's drink while our money doth last ;
The zealots have cause to repine.
Whilst we think not on dangers past.
Let each man discharge a full bumper ;
Here's a health unto loyalty :
D n shall light on each Bumper,
To see none so happy as we.
The damnable Whigs they do grumble
To see us so happy and great ;
But they dare not speak plain, but do mumble,
Each Presbyter fears his just fate ;
Whilst Tories quaff bumpers amain.
And under no nation they be :
If you have any plots, either sham ones or true ones,
Bring out the contrivers, both Hack ones and blue ones;
I'll either refine 'em from all their past ill,
Or else I will strangle 'em all in my mill.
